charbar & WOW Lighting & Controls – IES Winner

WOW Lighting & Controls and charbar in Calgary.  This was a fun photo shoot.  One of the challenges was the outdoor light streaming into the windows, as the photos had to be taken in the mid-day when the restaurant had it’s quiet time.  More photos of this project are on the WOW Lighting & Controls website.  Acknowledgements also go to Nick De Rose, the designer who put it all together, from Designcore Engineering.

Thanks also to the folks at Intense Lighting, the LED light fixture suppliers.  Check out the Project Spotlight on their site for a write-up on the lighting and the project challenges.  Download the pdf for the full story.
